Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. Tonight. I did it for the | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
fans and I don't regret it! But the man behind this is arrested and | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
:00:20. | :00:25. | ||
charged. I had caught to St James' and I was Botha do an apostrophe. | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
Then I saw the blue lights flashing. Newcastle United remain unmoved by | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
the controversial name change - and the re-branding of their ground | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
goes on. Also tonight - how this woman's life was saved by a �4 | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
million home improvement scheme. The big bike recycle. An appeal for | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
old bicycles here in the North will help disabled children in Kenya. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
And the poignant moment a bride of four years saw her wedding album | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
for the first time. In sport, we'll look ahead to Sunderland's FA Cup | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
tie against Arsenal with the help of one of their old Wembley heroes. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
In sport, we'll look ahead to Sunderland's FA Cup tie against | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Arsenal with the help of one of their old Wembley heroes. And we'll | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
meet another Olympic hopeful, being groomed for a medal at the 2012 | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
:01:17. | :01:20. | ||
Games. He says he did it for the fans and has no regrets. Just hours | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
after the St James's Park signs were wrenched off the stadium walls | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
to make way for the ground's new name, Newcastle United supporter | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Michael Atkinson painted the old name back on again. It got him | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
arrested and charged. Meanwhile, the club today pressed ahead with | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
its re-branding of the stadium as the Sports Direct Arena. Our | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
reporter Adrian Pitches is there live for us now. Adrian. After the | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
very public removal of the historic name of the stadium from its walls | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
yesterday, it was probably inevitable that there would be some | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
backlash from the fans. We had one single fan armed with he tenor | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
painter came to do his bit. He was halfway through the name before he | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
was arrested. -- with his tin of paint. Yesterday Look North cameras | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
caught the moment as the St James's Park name was levered off the wall | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
of the stadium. And this morning we filmed the latest twist in the tale. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
An irate fan had started repainting the name at half past one this | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
morning before he was arrested in mid-sentence. I had got to St | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
James'. I was about to do and apostrophe. Then I saw the blue | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
lights flashing. I do not know why he has changed it now after making | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the original change in November. It seems like he's just winding the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
fans up. It is not as if he is getting any money out of that, he | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
is just promoting his own company. The new branding is far from | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
understated. In fact, Newcastle fans will say it's a very blatant | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
trampling underfoot of 120 years of history. Mindful of that history, | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the city council has sided with the fans. We have been very clear, the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
people of the City have told us that this has always been called St | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
James's Park and that is why we have not changed the names of any | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
signs and we make this clear from the start when this was first | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
announced and we have written to every media outlet no country to | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
ask them to use the old name. in 1892, what other innovations | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
joined St James's Park? Well, Joseph Swan patented the electric | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
lightbulb. Another new invention that year was the portable | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
typewriter. In St Petersburg, Tchaikovsky premiered his | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Nutcracker Suite. And in London, Arthur Conan Doyle published a | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
collection of short stories entitled The Adventures of Sherlock | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Holmes. All those have survived - but not St James's Park. What do | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
the marketing experts think? believe that, if money is needed to | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
sustain the club then the match should go after commercial | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
sponsorship and they will be looking for a sponsor to take that | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
name over, and I think that it is a sound commercial decision. Across | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
the road from the ground, Newcastle's finest business brains | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
are trained. I think that a clever sponsor for Newcastle United | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Football Club, let's take, for example, Virgin money, would by | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
then the in race for the stadium and collared St James's Park again | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
and they would have huge amounts of appreciation from the fans and | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
:04:34. | :04:35. | ||
would get about 1 million customers worldwide. Over to you Sir Richard | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Branson. Can your Virgin Money ease the pain felt from Mike Ashley's | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Direct approach? Newcastle United are not playing at home tomorrow | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
because it is a cup weekend and they are out of the Cup. It is | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
likely to assume that there will be some fine reaction to this recent | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
development at their next home fixture -- some reaction from fans. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Well earlier we asked for your comments on our Look North facebook | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:35. | ||
page and we've certainly had a lot, More of the day's news now. Two | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
former policemen have denied being involved in a cigarette smuggling | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
operation. Gary Thompson and his wife Amanda from Hartlepool pleaded | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
not guilty to money laundering and Mr Thompson, a further seven | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
charges of conspiring to evade cigarette duty, possession of | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
documents used in fraud and producing false VAT documents. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Fellow Ex-Cleveland policeman Anthony Lamb from Coxhoe in County | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Durham denies the same seven offences. Two lorry drivers, Barry | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Eldon from Doncaster and David Lister from Downham Market, deny | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
conspiring to evade duty on cigarettes. The trial will begin at | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:15. | ||
Newcastle Crown Court on 7th May and is expected to last eight weeks. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
The owners of a Cumbrian firm have been fined �25,000 for polluting | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
three local watercourses. The company, Davidson's Junction 40, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
admitted contaminating Myers Beck, Thacka Beck and the River Eamont | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
with up to 1,300 litres of oil. More than a mile-long stretch of | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
water was affected. Carlisle Magistrates Court heard the | :06:29. | :06:39. | |
:06:39. | :06:44. | ||
company's underground pipes hadn't been pressure-tested for years. A | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Sunderland Councillor's been suspended from the Labour party - | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
after she appeared to back a comment - on the Facebook website - | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
calling for the IRA to bomb the Conservative party conference. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Councillor Florence Anderson - from Hetton Le Hole - clicked the "like" | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
box showing support for the message. A memory stick containing | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
restricted information about Hartlepool nuclear power station's | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
been lost by a Health and Safety officer in India. The "stress test" | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
report for the plant carried out in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
was downloaded onto a USB memory stick against Office for Nuclear | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
Regulation rules. It says action has been taken against the employee. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
She thought her freezing cold home would be the death of her, and | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
longed for the day when it would be demolished. Mary Moran suffered | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
from heart disease and a chronic lung complaint that left her curled | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
up for days on end between damp sheets at her home. But now her | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
life has been transformed by a �4 million heating and insulation | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
project on Stockton's Parkfield estate, which Mary says has saved | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
her life. Chris Storey reports. The heat is on for Mary Moran, and | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
local MP Alex Cunningham and a houseful of dignitaries popped | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
round to say what a very good thing it was too. For Mary's life has | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
been transformed from one of cold and misery. It was like an ice box. | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
It was like walking into it reserve. It was warmer outside than in here. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
Sometimes it was that cold, that the duvet felt as if it was damp, | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
with the cold. Mary has COPD, a killer lung disease. She belives | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
the new central heating could help save her life. I am not getting so | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
many chest infections, where, before, I always had a bad chest. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Parkfield Estate is being largely demolished, and ironically Mary's | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
house only survived because the cash for the bulldozers ran out. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Part of Tarring Street is being knocked down, but the rest is being | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
clad in insulation and fitted with new central heating. The �3.9 | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
million project will benefit 433 homes in Stockton, in a partnership | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
between fuel poverty specialists Go Warm and Stockton Council. People | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
want to live here, and they were to live in warmer homes. There are | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
people who've never had central heating year, and we can put that | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
in. And then cut up to �500 each year off their heating bills. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
humbling to see, at the start of the 21st century, that a thing many | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
of us take for granted - a warm house - can be greeted with such | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
joy by someone like Mary. The North East could find out soon if it's to | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
become the home of a new bank. The government's green investment bank | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
will have �3 billion on offer for low carbon businesses. Whoever gets | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
the HQ could well get a big slice of that investment. But is there | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
much chance of a successful bid? Our Political Editor Richard Moss | :09:48. | :09:58. | |
:09:58. | :09:58. | ||
reports. Smith Electric Vehicles in Washington is at the forefront of | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
the green industrial revolution. And as it looks to expand, it might | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
be handy to have a new Green Investment Bank with �3 billion of | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
cash somewhere nearby. The good news for the company is that there | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
is a big push for the Government to bring the Green Investment Bank to | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
the north-east. Some people are making the case that on the | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
doorstep of this company, that could be in Sunderland. And it's | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
easy to understand why Sunderland wants the bank. It'll employ around | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
80 people, but it's also likely to make Wearside a more attractive | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
place for new green businesses and jobs. And that's one of the reasons | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
the city believes its bid should be taken seriously. We're still the | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
area with the highest unemployment in the company and bringing in the | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
jobs to an area like the North East has got to be a good thing. Any | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
investment, employment has to be a factor in the decision-making. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Sunderland is just one of 32 bidders for the bank. And its | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
rivals include Newcastle, County Durham and Teesside. Clearly, they | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
what expertise and finance which we have in this area and the rest of | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
the north-east. They want support from professional companies that | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
understand green energy and green activities. We already have that | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
sort of industry, here. Industry is moving to a low carbon future, day- | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
by-day. But some doubt the wisdom of having rival North East bids. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
have a wall set of bids coming in from a single labour-market is just | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
daft. You are up against areas that are much better organised. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
decision about where the bank should go is due at the end of the | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
month. And there will be more about the race to become the home of the | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
green investment bank on BBC1's Sunday Politics this weekend at 12 | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
noon. Now what you might see as an old bike rusting away in the shed | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
and only good for the tip, could be of great use to a group of | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
ingenious engineers. "Bikes into wheelchairs" is the name of a | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
collection being organised by RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire. Its aim | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
- to recycle the bikes to help improve the mobility of disabled | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
children in Kenya. Peter Lugg reports. Nine year old James has | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
grown out of his bike so now he's giving it to the RAF to take to | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Africa. This will be perfect for the rough terrain of Africa, and | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
that is what we're going to use, so that is wonderful. Patrick turns up | :12:27. | :12:37. | |
:12:37. | :12:38. | ||
with another load this time from a local junk yard. WAll the bikes | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
being collected in Northallerton are destined for the Kajaido | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
children's charity in Kenya.RAF Leeming has the means to get them | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
there and in the corner of a hanger at the base its amassing quite a | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
collection.Eventually they'll be handed over to a recycling workshop | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
in Nairobi for conversion into disability aids. Eventually, the | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
:13:08. | :13:09. | ||
bikes will be handed over, for conversion into disability aids. | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
The cogs, the Wales, the everything can be used, because the terrain is | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
so rough, mountain bikes are ideal for what they want. This will give | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
advantage to disabled kids who just want to have more independence and | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
be put through mainstream schooling. Without the mobility aids, | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
wheelchairs, they would not have those opportunities. The project | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
runs until the end of March. Be careful where you leave your bike! | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
There is another one, here! that one, that his mind and! -- | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
that is mine. An oil painting by Ellis Langley regarded as the piece | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
of north-east heritage is up for sale. It was painted in 1967. It is | :14:03. | :14:13. | |
:14:13. | :14:17. | ||
expected to be sold for �350,000. Add the Vicente. -- magnificent. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
You're watching Look North. Still to come - Friday's sportsdesk with | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Jeff, plus: The bells are back - after years of silence at this tiny | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
rural church. And, in the forecast, there is time in the cold snap, | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
just in time for the weekend. The bells are ringing once again in the | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
little Northumberland village of Ovingham. It follows a huge | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
fundraising drive by local people who were determined to hear the | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
sound of their church bells again following years of silence. They | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
collected around �90,000 - and eight new bells have now been | :14:50. | :15:00. | |
:15:00. | :15:03. | ||
installed. Julie Smith has this report. BELLS PEAL. They are really | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
good, they sound really nice. old bells were quite a handful, not | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
particularly easy to ring, because the frame would move around quite a | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
bit so it was not easy to learn, from the youngsters who showed an | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
interest. The last new bills but in were Victorian times, before that, | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
the Middle Ages, so to see the eight bells being rolled up the | :15:28. | :15:37. | |
path, it was something very special. There's an appealing welcome with | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
the new ring of eight. We have had a lot of local support from the | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
villagers. I was excited when they arrived because I have not seen | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
anything like it before. We got the day of school, it was worthwhile! | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
It is it very exciting time for them but now the hard work starts, | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:19. | ||
training people to ring them. OK, so don't keep hold of it! | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
training is not as easy as it looks. A dedication ceremony is taking | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
:16:35. | :16:39. | ||
place on March 10th. And it's hoped they'll ring in the next 500 years. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
You might remember we brought you the story of Clayton Bennett - the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
wedding photographer whose pictures were so bad - a judge ordered him | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
to give a happy couple their money back. Pictures like this in fact. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Well now - at last - Caroline and Colin Heslop, have finally got the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
wedding album they'd always dreamed of. Chris Stewart can tell us more. | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
This was the original album. The groom, with the cigarette hanging | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
from his mouth, and this moving image of what we think is part of a | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
wedding dress. Caroline, I hope that you like this are born because | :17:11. | :17:19. | |
you have waited for it for a long time. Today, though, Caroline | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
picked up the album she'd always hoped for. So instead of this. She | :17:22. | :17:32. | |
:17:32. | :17:47. | ||
Gosh! I can't believe it's mine. They're gorgeous. The new album is | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
the work of photographer David Lawson. And the reshoot - everybody | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
back in wedding outfits and back at the original church - was organised | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
by the Master Photographers Association after we revealed | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:07. | ||
Caroline and Colin's story on Look going to like them? Yes, we have | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
going to turn out. Will you have a little cry? I might have a little | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
dear, I don't know. I felt quite emotional when Caroline started to | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
cry, because that is what a true, professional photographer does, | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
captures emotions. It's taken a court case and four years. And a | :18:31. | :18:41. | |
:18:41. | :18:42. | ||
fair few tears - but today came tears she quite enjoyed. I'm a big | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
softie! It is so important, to a woman, in particular. It is | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
:19:00. | :19:01. | ||
important - as is the sports is, I am sure! Yes, football first. And | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
then there was one - Sunderland have been left flying the flag for | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
the region, in this season's FA Cup. And the optimists are pointing to | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
one or two similarities with their unforgettable triumph in 1973. Not | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
least the fact that, on their way to the final, they knocked out | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
tomorrow's opponents, Arsenal. Here's Mark Tulip. Mention | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Sunderland and 1973, and you automatically think of Leeds United, | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
Wembley and Jim Montgomery. It's almost 39 years since that | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
memorable May day - but the Black Cats' goalkeeper has been asked | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
about that double save, on a weekly basis, ever since. What's often | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
overlooked, though, is the fact they put out the favourites, | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
Arsenal, in the semi-final. It was just the spirit of the team, and | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
how we had played against Manchester City. We got out and got | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
in their faces, as Sunderland do, even to the present day. We stop | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
:19:57. | :20:03. | ||
them from playing. Billy Ure scored the header. We had brilliant | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
memories. Monty - as he's universally known - clocked up a | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
club record of 623 appearances for his hometown team. Last week he was | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
made their first official ambassador. And he'd love nothing | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
more than to see Martin O'Neill do what Bob Stokoe did, and turn the | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
team into Cup winners in his first season in charge. To me, all he has | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
done, he has got them playing with belief, they believe in themselves, | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
as Bob had done with us, given them a little bit more freedom to | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
express themselves. It does look as if it has the hallmarks, I wish it | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
was the semi-final tomorrow, that is the only thing. We're looking | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
forward to it, absolutely. The advantage we have is playing at | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
:21:03. | :21:03. | ||
home though stock if we stay at a pretty decent crescendo, we will | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
hopefully not just be able to give them something to cheer about. | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
:21:20. | :21:23. | ||
is a 5:15pm kick-off, and you can pay at the door. Carlisle to a | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
Monday and Middlesbrough player just that. So the focus will be on | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Hartlepool against Notts County tomorrow. The top Conference teams, | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
York City Art Kong, whilst Berwick Rangers host Annan Athletic, one of | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:49. | ||
their division Three play-off rivals. Now, he's had a lot to live | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
up to after being crowned World Junior Diving Champion and being | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
hailed by some as the next Tom Daley. But Harrogate's Jack Laugher | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
won't let any of that bother him ahead of next week's World Cup | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
competition at London's new Aquatics Centre, which is doubling | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
as an Olympic Test Event. I am not feeling the pressure any more | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
because I have won my place at the Olympics with Team GB. There are | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
3,000 people coming to watch the World Cup, and that is going to be | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
amazing. 95% of them are British be well, I have a couple of my friends | :22:15. | :22:25. | |
:22:25. | :22:29. | ||
coming down to cheer me on. For all our sportsmen and women hoping to | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
compete at this year's Olympics, staying injury free and making sure | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
you're in the best possible shape to qualify and compete, has to be | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
the key. For North Yorkshire three- day eventer, Nicola Wilson, it's | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
also about making sure her horse, Opposition Buzz, is in the best | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
shape too - as Tanya Arnold's been finding out. Opposition Buzz Is | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
building up to 2012, he just doesn't know it. Does he know when | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
it is a big event? He does not have a clue that, where he is going, but | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
he knows that is building up to something big, he knows that | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
something special is round the corner. How many people does it | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
take to get you and the loss to the start line of the Olympics? Ewes | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
looked after on a daily basis by a groom. And there is a | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
physiotherapist, there are sponsors involved. I do the training and the | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
competing, but I cannot do everything. Everybody does their | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
bit, to make it a success for sure. One of those doing her bit is the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
key Spalding, the British equine physiotherapist, who gives him his | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
monthly massage. We build them up to the course of the events season | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
so that we can keep his muscles soft, and his joints mobile. And we | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
can pick up on all the little niggles that he gets, as any | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
athlete working at this level would. The first of four water | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
combinations. Going by the direct route. Makes it look easy. So, you | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
have a programme like any athlete? Absolutely. You have got to be | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
prepared to change it at any point, but we have his training programme | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
and a competition programme, as well. He does not know what is | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
round the corner, and has no idea what we are hoping for, but we just | :24:33. | :24:43. | |
:24:43. | :24:49. | ||
keep working away at doing the training. Lovely silky horse! Like | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
:24:59. | :25:03. | ||
this dress! Finest high street, this! We're all going to be needing | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
some extra layers, this weekend. We have a cold snap coming our way. We | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
have a lovely picture to get us in the mood. Backers of the recent | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
:25:27. | :25:30. | ||
cold snap, at Hardwicke Park, in Sedgefield so stop -- we have | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
called their coming down from the north. We will have a good few | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
sunny spells this weekend. Just a couple of little showers to contend | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
with, up on the fells. Still bringing in mild air, tonight, but, | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
as this cold front comes down, bringing rain this way through the | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
back end of the night, tonight, then, tomorrow, we have this cold | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
air coming down from the north. If frosty night, Saturday Night Into | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
Sunday, but with some sunshine and a dry day ahead. It will feel | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
pleasant if you are out and about through the weekend. This evening, | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
we have some drizzle across Cumbria at the moment. That will continue | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
into the early hours. Towards dawn, we have this next batch of rain | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
coming down from the north, pushing into many parts by the end of the | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
night. It is going to be a mild night, with temperatures staying at | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
around five Celsius. Heading into tomorrow, when it first, a wet | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
start, but that will move away quickly to the south, that is when | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
we get into this cold, bright air. On the fells, it could be a little | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
bit when due, but elsewhere, driver sunny skies, but you could need an | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
extra, wintry jacket, because that breeze from the north-west will be | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
picking up strongly. Sunday, after that frosty Saturday night, looking | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
at some icy stretches in places, and as we get into Sunday after | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
that frosty start, temperatures struggling, at around four Celsius, | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
despite the sunshine. It you are out on the fells this weekend, take | :27:21. | :27:29. |
